The "trans athlete debate" is not really about sports or fairness, but about getting a legal precedent deeming trans women to be men under the law that can be extended to other areas of our lives.

On top of that, the Brown adā€™s uncritical use of the language  ā€œtransgender biological menā€ in ā€œwomenā€™s sportsā€ suggests an acceptance of the premise that trans girls are not girls. It may seem like a sensible political strategy, given how radioactive the polling is about trans athletes; but characterizing trans girls as boys in a sports context would lead one to characterize them as such in other contexts, too.

After all, if trans girls are really boys when theyā€™re playing sports, then they would also be considered boys in the bathroom, boys in medical offices and, thus, denied access to female hormones. If trans girls are boys when theyā€™re playing sports, then trans women should be considered men in all contexts.

Contrary to the assertion from conservatives that their aim is to protect the integrity of sports competition, their focus on the trans athlete issue has never really been about fairness.  The goal has been to establish a precedent that leads to the complete marginalization of trans women and girls.

cis folks PSA this is a linguistic construction to push back on "transgender biological {men,women}" we would say "transgender woman" to indicate a woman who is trans. they want to call us "biological men" and slip that alongside "transgender" in order to poison our language and confuse you.

if youā€™re a cis person whoā€™s popped into any thread iā€™ve posted this week & thought/said, ā€œi hardly think youā€™re the best judge of trans politics,ā€ read @transscribe.bsky.social writing for msnbc. sheā€™s smarter than i am & msnbc has an aura of legitimacy that ā€œrando on internetā€ canā€™t quite match.

Opinion | Trans people need Dems to defend us from GOP attacks. They're not.

Democrats have been reluctant to defend trans people and their rights as Republicans have spent millions of dollars on ads whipping upĀ anti-trans resentment.

The Twitter death spiral is fun to watch. I'm so glad I was permabanned before Musk bought the platform (if you're curious as to why, I threatened homophobes, which included describing the velocity of bullets).

Actually it isn't beyond me, they protect their own (the rich) from legal consequences.

It's illegal in the United States. You can't bribe someone to vote for a candidate. This is a bribe. It's illegal in the United States. The fact the Justice Department isn't shutting this down is beyond me.

Folks, it's as simple as this: if your bank doesn't mail you, nothing new on your pharmacy account, no changes to orders en route on your Amazon or Ebay notifications. Tl;dr if the sources of all your critical info don't notify you for changes on their websites and platforms, DONT HIT THE LINK.
